seidio is the way to go. otterbox cases are like a brick. unless your on a construction site daily and throw and or launch your phone across room and or hallways or down flights of steps i think it adds wayy to much bulk

I just joined the site. I received my O'box Defender for my Tour today. As usual it's an excellent case. It does alter the look dramatically. I have had an O'box on my 8830 and 8330. For protection you cannot beat them. But they certainly do not look pretty.

One note about the Defender 9600 series. The charging port is too small. I had to shave my micro USB plug down a bit to get it to fit. I didn't want to remove the O'box every time I need to charge the Berry.

Scope

*** The silicone outer wrap was left with too much material against the right side convenience key keeping it pressed all the time. This causes lag and the buttons to become unresponsive. Otterbox has pulled the product from their website as they work on a solution. I removed the shell and shaved about half of the silicone from that portion of the shell. This has resolved the issue for me.

Here is something i have found out since i too bought the otterbox from otterbox.com.. Otterbox is aware of the charger not fitting into the charge slot so they are ordering a new otterbox for everyone that calls in and complains about this and i was told this morning that the new case should be available with in the next week or so. for my troubles they are also giving me a what they call an impact case too. and i get to keep old otterbox too.
